Montreal to Charlottetown, P. E. L., Pic-

tou and Si. John’s, Nfld., and will carry

cargo and passerers, The new steamer is specially adapted for the trade, having

elegant cabin accommodation for over forty passengers, and all the latest improvements. | This is a Canadian company, and has now taken up this Gulf business with commen- dable enterprise. By this route the tourist is enabled to visit various points of interest and beauty as well as to enjoy the scenes of the :iver St. Lawrence, calling at the several picturesque harbors of Char- lottetown, Picton, St. John’s Nfid., and passing through the Northumberland Straits and the Gut of Canso. At Pictou connection is made with the railway system of Nova Scotia, bringing the traveller within easy access of Halifax, St. John, N. B., and Port Mulgrave, at which last place the steamer from Sydney, Cape Breton, can be joined traversing the celebrated Bras d Or lakes. The round voyage on these steamers occupies some eighteen days and covers a distance of over 3,000 miles, affording an opportunity for a refreshing holiday trip, full of variety and interest.’ ‘The means of communication between

Canadian ports and Great Britzin are also enlarged and improved. Messrs. Allan Brothers have added two Jarge steamers to their fleet--the Siberian and Carthegenian, each 4,60( tons, and they have purchased the Inman steamship City of New York and fitted her up

under the name of the Norwegian. The Allan Line steamers will run to the

St. Lawrence from Liverpool aud Glas- gow every week.

The Dominion Line, the Montreal Star,—

Opening of Navigation.

Tue open water iv our harbor and the | prospect of clear Straits after a chango| of wind, are earnest of an early renewal | of regular communication between our | isolated Island and the rest of the world; and men are beginning to make enquiry as to the means provided,

The Steam Navigation Company’s steamers have been overhauled and thoroughly repaired under the careful and efficient supervision of Mr. Sloggett. Both have been furnished with new boilers, and both have improved accom- modation for passengers and freight. | The Princess of Wales rides as buoyantly vpon the water as she did when newly launched ; aud good judges say that with her new timbers and fastenings, she is stronger than she ever was, while her siloon and decks have been considerably enlarged. Expense has not been spared

, and we trust they will | be amply rewarded by a large traffic We have not heard

by the Compan‘ - ' oD | . . . | their old routes.

how they intend to use their new steamer | the Summerside; but trust she will be| profitably employed ia connection with | the trade of our Province. She leaves! for Pictou on Tuesday—ice permitting. Ihe new Heather Belle has been re

parred and repainted ; and will, no doubt, command a large traffic between Char-; lottetown and the large outports with | which she makes connections.

Fishwick’s Line will have steamers plying between Halifax and Charlotte- towr, and the Worcester and Carrol! wi lj

run as usual, between Charlottetown | and Boston.

But besides all these, additional facil-} ities will be afforded by the Black | Diamond Line. Two fine steamers of | this line will be ou the route of Mon-|

treal, Charlottetown, Pictou, and St. |

Inxurious description. It is expected that the Vancouver will prove one of the fastest vessels in the Canadian trade. The engines are of the three-cylinder type, the high-pressure cylinder being fifty-eight inches in diameter, the two low-pressure cylinders eighty inches in diameter each, and the stroke sixty-six inches. The boil- ers are six in number, having thirty fur- naces, and the initial pressure of steam is ninety pounds per square inch, but the boilers are tested by the Board of Trade to over double that pressure. It may be stated that the ship is illuminated through- out with the electric light.”

Again,two steamers of the White Cross Line will ply from the first season between Antwerp and Montreal; and it is hoped that besides carrying large quantities of freight to and fro they will be the means of bringing to our shores

These additions to the fleet of steam vessels trading with Canada, show that leading men of business are confident of an eulargement of our trade; and we are not without hope that one of the trans-Atlantic lines wil) take advantage ofthe subsidy of $7,500 granted by Parliament, and give Charlottetown a call.
